Is Timothy Gietner's shirt/tie a sign?

[Agschmid]

This is not really lounge material...

Does anyone notice that the guy in charge of the Treasury (an by default) a large portion of our economy is the one who has his tie not tied right and his shirt collar sticking out of his jacket like a hot mess? His attention to detail seems to be lacking as well as the attention to detail for whoever staged this photo.



Oye, maybe we will have a new Treasury secretary? Just a nice picture otherwise for those of you who have not seen it.

1. Actually, many of them are very poorly dressed.

Who's the guy in the turquoise tie that is down around his knees?

2. Transportation (Ray LaHood)

We can blame his tie mishap on him being a republican? That is the easiest explanation at least.

4. I keep saying and saying - no Republicans in the cabinet!

Geithner is a Republican too, I assume.

16. I don't really care for Biden's beige suit

6. i think biden looks weird in that beige number. it looks like a summer suit. i think

the whole picture is kind of sloppy, but since he's VP, and in the middle of the photo, that suit draws your eye to him. why?

it looks like they specified dark suits, blue ties, but some people didn't get the memo. 3 women in red, two in beige, one in lime green. hilary in navy pantsuit.

looks sloppy. lahood looks like he rolled out of bed blind.

is this the power elite?

7. Let's just assume they are too busy working to think about fashion...

I can dream right?

[HiPointDem]

14. it's a bit worrisome, actually. i thought they had schedulers and protocol people who

set all these things up for them, & brought spare ties and stuff in case someone forgot theirs.

is this the official photo?

8. Biden's suit is odd. Too long for him and buttoned too high.

And who's that in the odd shirt behind Hillary?

9. Lisa Jackson? EPA

12. I do believe you are correct.

Other picture, she changed her hair a bit.

10. I am sorry, this will sound bad... but...

When this picture is shrunk down, the whiteness of the teeth just stands out like crazy. It is hard to notice anything else.

I had to view the picture in actual size to see what you were talking about. Took me a while.

[Agschmid]

11. Ha no worries I work in fashion so my eyes went right there. n/t

[Xyzse]

13. I have no fashion sense... So no worries there.

It is alright.

15. THis almost looks impromptu

like there wasn't a memo... It looks more like they all got called out of their offices because they just all happened to be there on the same day. A lot of them travel often and getting them all together at once could be a chore to say the least. Bet there's a better official photo somewhere... maybe.
